Shop the Sale: Butter-Basted Ribeye Steak

This year, I’m not going to have a big crowd for Christmas dinner. In addition, none of the guests I will have really care if the meal is “traditional” or not, so we’re going with “not.” However, you can’t go wrong with any meal at any time with ribeye steak, on sale this week at Brookshire’s.

Beautifully marbled and full of flavor, ribeyes are my favorite cut of steak. My sweet boyfriend, Paul, usually grills them outside, but you never know just what the weather will be doing on Christmas. This year, we plan to cook them inside in the cast iron skillet. I can almost smell it now! I grow rosemary from my back porch so that will be fresh too, and the smell of browning butter combined with the sound of sizzling meat can’t be beat.

When I first read this recipe, I thought you’d actually spoon melted butter over the steaks to baste it, and while you don’t really do that, you COULD. That would also be delicious, so I changed the recipe to reflect that. Don’t add the herbs until the second stage, as they’ll get burned and bitter.

Enjoy these steaks for your Christmas dinner, or any other meal, because you really can’t go wrong with ribeye!
